Both drivers having to wrestle it through corners compared to mCL. So much understeer.
Comparing ourselves to McLaren right now is pretty pointless... no one is at their balance. Overall, Charles looked to be the second force, that is all we can hope for with this car. The long runs were very good for Charles on tyres that were getting quite old.
Not sure how they can fix that. Car is horrendous in T1-T4, no balance.ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑18 Apr 2025, 19:51If they could fix their S1, they'd be right up there.
Leclerc went from +4 to -4 to +4 to -4... still struggling so much with the rear balance. Still, it's exhilarating watching his view, he always gives it 110% at street tracks.
I'm a bit worried that Hamilton didn't seem to improve between FP1 and FP2, but I'm sure it'll be a long night of discussions and simming, hopefully things will improve for tomorrow.
They couldn't get S1 right until the third try, by then the tyres were way beyond peak performance.
